The Livy Method Podcast

At midlife, a lot of us quietly decide the big dreams are behind us. Janette Ewen didn't get the memo. In the first episode of Summer Club, the designer and lifestyle expert (25 years on CTV, NBC, and Canadian daytime TV) talks about becoming the "queen of the pivot": losing her business in the pandemic, finding boxing and racing track in her midlife, and training toward a Masters triple jump because she can. She and Gina get into why "you're allowed to change" is the whole point, how to hold onto one healthy habit when the others slip, and why the best advice for reinventing yourself is to just go and do it. Hopeful, funny, and a little defiant.

Summer Club has officially begun! In this kickoff episode, Gina Livy gets into why you don't have to wait until goal weight to wear the bathing suit, be in the photos, or actually enjoy your life. She breaks down the science of happiness, why we all have a baseline, why the lottery won't fix it, and how presence and real connection can raise it (plus the app that finally broke her scrolling habit). She also shares the story behind the 91-day program, why the plan was never meant to be followed forever, and how to use summer as the ultimate test of everything you've learned.This podcast aligns with Day one of our Summer Club, members can find video in our Livy Method app or Summer Club Community Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/livymethodspring2026 Hosted on Acast.

What if gaining weight back isn't failure, but part of the process? In the final live of the season, Gina Livy, Kim, and Odette get honest about the thing the diet industry won't say out loud. People regain weight, and what matters is having the tools and self-awareness to move forward without starting over every time. They share the story of a member who gained back 30 pounds through a brutal year and just hit her goal again, dig into why goal weight was never really a number, and explain why community might be the most underrated weight loss tool there is.This episode aligns with Day 87 of our Spring 2026 weight loss program.

What do a clinical psychologist, a naturopathic doctor, and a learning strategist do when they're in a funk? In Gina Livy's candid BOD Squad conversation, Dr. Beverley David, Dr. Olinca Trejo, and Dr. Deena Kara Shaffer open up about their own struggles with depression, anxiety, and self-doubt, and the anchors that pull them back. Gina steers the panel into the conversation nobody's having: the fear of getting older. From caring for aging parents to the shift from lifespan to health span, they unpack why aging is a privilege worth showing up for. They talk about how confidence is a skill you build brick by brick, not a trait you're born with, and why the goal was never to stop caring, but to stop apologizing.This episode aligns with Day 86 of our Spring 2026 weight loss program.

In this Mindset Monday conversation, Gina and Odette reflect on what it really takes to create lasting change beyond weight loss. Inspired by a powerful discussion with Kathleen Cameron, they explore how shifting perspective, embracing healthy habits as acts of self-care, and becoming more intentional can reshape the way people think about food, movement, and themselves. They also share why maintenance is about more than holding onto results, touching on identity, resilience, self-awareness, and the importance of staying connected to a supportive community while building a life that feels good long after the scale stops being the focus.This episode aligns with day 85 of our Spring 2026 maintenance program.

In this inspiring conversation, Gina Livy sits down with bestselling author and manifestation mentor Kathleen Cameron to explore the powerful connection between mindset, self-worth, weight loss, and lasting health.

Together, they discuss manifestation, confidence, body image, healthy habits, and why lasting change starts from the inside out. If you're looking for motivation to let go of old beliefs, build self-trust, and create a healthier, more fulfilling life, this episode is full of practical insights and empowering perspective.This episode aligns with Day 85 of our Spring 2026 weight loss program.

Are you willing to be bad at something before you get good at it? In this Midweek Motivation, Gina Livy and Odette get into the fear that quietly runs the show when the structure starts to loosen: fear of failing, fear of succeeding, and the "just in case" jeans still hanging in your closet. They break down why personalizing the plan isn't going rogue, how to actually tell the difference between hungry, could eat and should eat, the one meal you can skip without worrying about going too long and why nuts won't give you that hot-day energy boost but watermelon will.This episode aligns with day 80 of our Spring 2026 maintenance program.

What if the thing derailing you isn't willpower? What if it's a nervous system stuck in protection mode? Gina Livy, Odette, and Kim open up about grief, burnout, and the surprising ways your body remembers what your brain moves past. From there, they get practical about this week's tweak: how to personalize the plan with intention instead of drifting into doing your own thing, why letting go of structure feels unsafe (and why that's the point), and Kim's honest question to ask yourself before every choice: is this what I need, or am I looking for a loophole?This episode aligns with Day 80 of our Spring 2026 weight loss program.

You lost the weight, so why are you still cinching a belt around jeans two sizes too big? Gina Livy sits down with Tanya Gelsomino, retail veteran, Livy Method member, and the community's resident fashionista, to talk about the part of weight loss nobody prepares you for: getting dressed. Tanya shares why hanging onto your "before" clothes is really about fear, why sizing down in the same styles rarely works and her "same, similar, different" fitting room method for rediscovering what looks good on your changing body. Listen to learn about dressing with intention instead of waiting for the finish line, how a $15 scarf can shift your whole energy, and why feeling good in your clothes today might be what actually carries you to your goal.This episode aligns with Day 79 of our Spring 2026 weight loss program.

What if the thing keeping you stuck is the fear of gaining it back? Gina Livy is flying solo this Mindset Monday, digging into why so many people who've done the work still don't trust themselves, and the three real reasons weight comes back. She takes on a member question about getting triggered at Sunday family dinners, unpacking old food associations, eating to keep the peace, and how to set a new tone at the table without a confrontation.This episode aligns with day 78 of our Spring 2026 maintenance program.

What if the goal was never to follow a plan forever, but to not need one? In this episode, Gina Livy breaks down the shift most diets never teach: how to actually know when to eat, what to eat, and how much, by checking in with your body instead of your head. She gets into why skipping a meal isn't the win you think it is, how the summer heat has been messing with your scale (and why it's secretly working in your favour), and what to do when your old habit of going all day without eating creeps back in. Plus: a member hits 50 pounds down after three years of showing up, and Gina gets real about why losing a large amount of weight in a healthy way is far more possible than the industry wants you to believe.This episode aligns with Day 78 of our Spring 2026 weight loss program.

It's not you, it's the heat. In this episode celebrating Canada Day, Gina Livy explains why hot weather and air conditioning can spike your scale even when your weight is actually trending down, and what to do about it (hint: it involves salt and fruit, not less water). From there she goes deep on set point, the real reason "goal weight" isn't a fixed number, why your body fights to keep you in a range, and how releasing fat is a different process than burning it. She also answers questions on true hunger versus habit hunger and how to navigate a summer full of celebrations without losing your footing.This episode aligns with Day 73 of our Spring 2026 weight loss program.

Dr. Sean Rice is back, and this time he's talking skin. As a plastic surgeon and one of Canada's leading voices in cosmetic medicine, Dr. Sean breaks down what's actually happening to your skin when you lose weight and why waiting until after you hit your goal could mean playing catch-up on damage that was totally preventable. He gets into the GLP-1 and crepey skin connection most doctors aren't talking about, the real difference between fillers and biostimulants (and why it matters for Ozempic face), what Korean skincare is actually worth buying, and the emerging treatments that could change everything. From exosomes for hair growth to enzymes that are rewriting the cellulite conversation, this one has it all. Plus: red light therapy, snail mucin, salmon sperm cream, and an honest breakdown of what's worth your money and what isn't.Where to Find Dr. Sean Rice:Website: https://www.doctorseanrice.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/doctorseanrice/This episode aligns with Day 72 of our Spring 2026 weight loss program.

What if the reason you feel off today has nothing to do with the food? Odette and Kim are co-hosting this week and they're getting into what it really means to listen to your body when life gets busy, seasonal, and a little loose around the edges.Canada Day is coming, the patios are open, and the structure that felt solid in the spring is getting tested. This conversation covers the difference between "what is wrong with me?" and "what is going on with me?", a simple reframe that changes everything. They unpack how to use Back on Track with intention, not as the excuse it can quietly become. And they get into the science of community: why surrounding yourself with people who get it actually makes your body feel better.This episode aligns with day 71 of our Spring 2026 maintenance program.

Gina's traveling, so program managers Kim and Odette are taking the wheel and came prepared. They get into one of the most misunderstood tools in the Livy Method: Back on Track. It's not a free pass. It's not a punishment. And it's definitely not something you trigger every Monday after a weekend of snacks. It's a feeling and knowing the difference changes everything. Kim and Odette break down what Back on Track actually is, when to use it (and when not to), why the scale is the wrong signal to follow, and how this tool shifts when you move into maintenance. They also get into the No Snack Challenge debrief, how to navigate Canada Day and the 4th of July without derailing your progress, and why the end of the program isn't the end of your journey.This episode aligns with Day 71 of our Spring 2026 weight loss program.

What if the hardest part of getting healthy isn't the eating? What if it's learning to stop needing a plan to tell you what to do?To get you motivated today, Gina Livy gets practical about something most wellness content skips: the transition from following rules to actually trusting your body. She breaks down the science behind meal timing and why smaller, frequent meals were never meant to be a forever thing.

And she gets deeply personal story about what reframed everything she understands about self-awareness and how we show up in our own lives.This episode aligns with day 66 of our Spring 2026 maintenance program.

In this episode, Gina Livy and Kim break down one of the most misunderstood shifts in sustainable weight loss: how to eat more protein and healthy fat without eating more food. They tackle the snack confusion head-on with what to combine, what to swap and why portion restructuring (not restriction) is what actually drives results. Plus: why the protein obsession you're seeing on social media doesn't apply when you're eating like this, how conditioned hunger is quietly running your day, and what's coming next for eating in tune with your body.If you've ever stared at your plate wondering if you're doing it right, this one can help.This episode aligns with Day 66 of our Spring 2026 weight loss program.

Summer isn't the enemy of fat loss, it might actually be your secret weapon. In this episode, Gina Livy breaks down why your body is primed to release stored fat when the heat is on, and why the scale going up the day after a new low isn't a setback. Gina also gets into the surprising connection between your home environment and your health habits, what protein and fat actually do to your hunger hormones, and why getting back on track after a vacation, a medical procedure, or a rough week doesn't require starting over... just showing up.This episode aligns with day 64 of our Spring 2026 weight loss program.

Most people aren't stuck because they're lazy. They're stuck because they're grading themselves on effort instead of outcome and there's a difference. In this episode, Gina Livy gets brutally honest about the gap between feeling like you're doing the work and actually doing the work. She breaks down why weight fluctuates even when you're consistent, what your body is actually doing when the scale doesn't move, and the three non-negotiables that matter more than anything else in the final stretch of achieving your goals.

Maintenance is supposed to be the finish line. So why does it feel like the starting line? In this episode, Gina Livy and Odette get into the real reasons people back slide and dig into why some people unconsciously gain their weight back to keep others comfortable, what the "bits and bites" slippery slope actually is (and isn't), and why finishing food you don't want is a habit worth breaking.

Many women leave their doctor's office after asking about menopause more confused than when they walked in.

You were doing everything right. Then you started getting close to your goal and something in you hit the brakes. Sound familiar? In this episode, Gina Livy gets into the real reason so many women sabotage their progress right when it matters most. It's not weakness. It's fear of what reaching your goal actually means, of who you'll have to become, of what you'll run out of excuses for.

Fitness and aging expert Andrew Blakey joins Gina Livy for a conversation that cuts through the pressure to go hard or go home when it comes to moving your body.

In this episode, Gina Livy and Kim break down the Tweak This Week, splitting your meals to work with your metabolism instead of against it. Gina explains why separating your protein from your carbs isn't just a food strategy, it's a way to finally understand what your body actually needs.

Gina Livy gets to the root of why weight loss has felt so hard for so many people for so long. It was never really about the food. It was about years of oversimplified advice, disconnection from your body, and trying to show up through all of life's complexity with no real support.In this episode, Gina unpacks why "eat less, exercise more" misses the point entirely, how stress, sleep and emotional history can affect what the scale does, and what it actually means to become an expert on your own body. She also gets into navigating plateaus with honesty, not judgment, and why pulling in the right healthcare team is part of the process, not a sign something's wrong with you.This episode aligns with day 51 of our Spring 2026 weight loss program.

Your brain will lie to you. Your gut won't. In this episode, Gina Livy and Odette get into the real reason the scale going up after a meal isn't weight gain and why the words you use to describe it matter more than you think. They dig into the difference between "I gained weight" and "my weight is up," and how that shift in language can change the way you feel about your body entirely. Plus, they also unpack what it means to be intentional about where your energy goes this week, and how to start learning to trust yourself through a summer that looks nothing like the last one.This episode aligns with day 50 of our Spring 2026 maintenance program.

You've done this before. You know it works. So why does getting back on track feel like starting over every single time?Today, Gina gets honest about the cycle of losing momentum, falling off and the guilt that follows. She breaks down why the goal was never just a number on the scale, why your relationship with food is more complicated than any meal plan can fix and what it actually takes to stop white-knuckling your way through and start showing up for yourself for real.From the truth about the scale going up after pizza (it's not what you think), to why GLP-1s won't do the work your mindset has to do, to the the one conversation nobody warned you you'd need to have with yourself.This episode aligns with day 50 of our Spring 2026 weight loss program.

Sleep expert Alanna McGinn joins Gina to get to the bottom of one of midlife's most common and most frustrating experiences.
